strong contrast to it's usual arid look.
The Sideboard, on West Park, has red.

The International and the WASHINGTON
Brewery on East Park near Main have the
national colors hung over their windows.
The Centennial Brewery and Atlantic Beer
Hall on Main have bunting displayed over
the fronts of their houses. All over town til,

reflection What q different town thi.
would look with trees in the streets"
East Galena street is a continuous bower
the north side from Main to Wyoming
and some very tasteful displays are here
made. East Park on the south side hasa
continuous row of evergreens on the edge
OF the south sidewalk. All night long the
hiss. fizzIe, crack and boom Of
